It's all been settled. They are just crossing Ts and Dotting Is.The second they're done, Israel flys.(I'm a poet and didn't know it)

I do not believe that is what the head of the CIA is doing. Obahmah could never play the role of one not caring for Israel if this was part of a plan, he is too political to almost lose a vote over some thinking he is anti Israeli. Instead he just does not like Israel and he now does not care .

I'm just confused with Obama positioning. The man is on election campaign, how this sudden opposition against Israel plans could garner more votes?

Do you think he'd be willing to lose votes and support, just in order to demonstrate inner feelings against Israel?

Seems very difficult to understand but perhaps he does not worry about the election for some reason.

He's going to say that we are standing with Israel by "protecting the gulf"!"we are Israel's flank".This way Obama doesn't have to on the offense with Israel.

This is also why I think it will happen pre-election so he can use it to get jewish votes.
